Refer to the scoring rubric belowMail Merge and Label Generation A Mail Merge is a word processing feature that allows you to easily create multiple letters, labels, envelopes, nametags, or catalogue documents to group of people as stored in a list in a database or spreadsheet. When making Mail Merge, you will need a document using MS Word and a recipient list which is typically done using MS Excel workbook. But you can also use various sources including MS Outlook contact list, MS Access database, or a Notepad text document. / Three Components of the Mail Merge: 1. Main document — the letter which contain the email information for each of the merged document that can be letter, stationary or template. It also contains the field names which contains the instructions for carrying out the merge. 2. Data source - itis also called data file which comprises the information to be merged into a document such as the list of names and addresses to be used in a mail merge. This must be connected to the data source before it can use the information in it. 3. Merge document — this is also a word processing document that is the generated output after executing the merge process. In Mail Merge you need to create the main document, create a data source and merge data with the document. STEPS: / Creating a form letter: 1. Open MS Word.

One of the key B34 /6(6))+8x2 features of excel is the ability to calculate g peti + 6x. complex formulas. There are four basic ~ 3442 computation uses in excel. Namely addition, DERE ostvoyco subtraction, multiplication, and division. When solving complex problems, Excel follows the PEMDAS. PEMDAS is an acronym for the words: parenthesis, exponents, multiplication, division, addition, and subtraction. Relative Reference / Allcell references are called relative references. / When copied across multiple cells, they change based on the relative position of rows and columns. Absolute Reference / These are cell references that do not change when copied or filed / You can use an absolute reference to keep a row and/or column constant. / These reference cells can be made constant by inserting $ sign in between or before the row and column. Example: $A82_ | The column and the row do not change when copied. ‘A82_| The row does not change when copied. $A2__| The column does not change when copied.

It can be used as a worksheet function in Excel. As a worksheet function, the VLOOKUP function can be entered as part of a formula in a cell of a worksheet. ‘Syntax: =VLOOKUP(lookup_value,table_array,col_index_num,|range_lookup]) =VLOOKURIE1, A2:86, 2 FALSE) 7 ~ range; Feturn a match from this column, search for exact match Look up this valié, in Steps: 1.

They may be captured by optical devices such as cameras, mirrors, lenses, telescopes, microscopes, and natural objects and phenomena, such as the human eye or water. Graphics Graphics are visual images or designs on some surface, such as a wall, canvas, screen, paper, or stone to inform, illustrate, or entertain. It can be a photograph, a drawing, a line art, graphical representations, and typography. Basic Principles of Graphic Design Principles of graphic design are set of guidelines that help a design achieve effective composition. These basic principles aid in creating balance and stability for the piece of work. # COLOR is used for emphasis or may elicit emotions from viewers. Determined by its hue (name of color), intensity (purity of the hue), and value (lightness or darkness of hue).

In layout, visual weight is determined by the darkness or lightness, thickness of lines, and size. Balance is crucial to the success of design. There are two kinds of balance: Symmetrical Balance. The visual weight is distributed evenly, either vertically or horizontally. You can draw a line straight through the middle of the design, and the visual balance would be evenly distributed. Asymmetrical Balance. There is an artistic and different intensity on one side of the page. ‘SYMMETRIC ‘ASYMMETRIC %® PROXIMITY is simply the process of ensuring related design elements are placed together. Any unrelated items should be spaced apart. Close proximity indicates that items are connected or have a relationship to each other and become one fal unit which helps to organize or give structure to a layout (Smith, 2017) 37White Space is the art of nothing. It is also known as the negative space. It is the portion of a page left unmarked: margins, gutters, and space between columns, lines of type, graphics, figures, or objects drawn or depicted. Image source: http:/im.blog.hu’b1/b1fotolimageipetadoption_featjpg 4 ALIGNMENT is simply the way visual elements are arranged so that they line up in some way. There are two basic kinds of alignment; edge and center. © Edge alignment determines the placement of elements in relation to the edge of the page or canvas. This can mean the elements are aligned to the left side or right side, but it can also mean they are aligned to the top or bottom of the page, so long as it uses an edge to organize everything © Center alignment aligns all the elements so that an invisible, central line on the page will always be in the center of the elements. 38Image source: htps:blog thepapermilstre.com desig principles alignmentiadge-algament!

Lesson 2.2: Image Manipulation Image Manipulation refers to a process of bringing changes to a digitized image for transforming it to a desired image. The changes are made possible by resorting to image processing. Image manipulation is utilized to create magazine covers and albums from photographs.
